Swiss elect their parliament on Sunday with worries about environment and migration high in minds

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : The vote for the legislature, which happens every four years, will ultimately shape the future composition of the Alpine country's executive branch: The Federal Council -- which includes President Alain Berset, who has decided to leave government at year-end.
47% : The Federal Council is considering whether to join the EU and the United States in labeling Hamas a terror organization.
46% : The two-two-two-one balance of seats in the Federal Council is known as Switzerland's "magic formula" -- which is aimed to dilute the prospects that individual personalities get too much power, and to ensure balance in the way government is run.
41% : Switzerland has joined the United Nations in labeling al-Qaida and the Islamic State group as terrorists.
40% : The Swiss did line up with the EU in slapping sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine.
